A three-component force sensor utilizing the piezoelectric effect! It meets quality standards on the production line and ensures a finished product quality that is as close to zero defects as possible!
The 3-component force sensor, ForceLink, incorporates three pairs of quartz piezoelectric elements, assembled between two upper and lower steel plates. Out of the three pairs, two pairs measure shear forces Fx and Fy, while the other pair measures the compressive force Fz.
The 90x7C and 90x8C of the 3-component force sensor have their x and y coordinates inverted with respect to the direction of the output connector. The 90x6C4 is a set that includes two each of the 90x7C and 90x8C, totaling four units.
The force sensor comes in two types: one that requires preloading before use on-site and another, the ForceLink, that is shipped from the factory already preloaded.
Kistler's 3-component force sensor, ForceLink, is used in the automotive field and the automotive parts industry for monitoring, control, and optimization.
